Motorola brings 3G to Xoom tablets
Better mobility
Motorola improved the connectivity of its Xoom 2 range this week, with the launch of 3G compatible versions of its 10.1in and 8.2in tablets.
The Xoom 2 packs a dual-core 1.2GHz processor with Android 2.3 Gingerbread Android 3.2 Honeycomb. There's a 1.3Mp front-facing and 5Mp rear-facing camera, 1GB Ram and the choice of 16GB or 32GB of built-in storage.
The hardware features an element-defying Corning Gorilla Glass display and a splashguard coating, as well as a ten-hour battery life.
The new tablets, which handle both 3G and Wi-Fi, are available now from Carphone Warehouse from £400.

But Still No Card Slot
A stupid decision to remove this when comparing to the original xoom.
I'm sure it is lovely
But it's twice the price it would need to be to get me interested.
Gingerbread?
"The Xoom 2 packs a dual-core 1.2GHz processor with Android 2.3 Gingerbread."
Looks like at least 3.x - Honeycomb.
Re: But Still No Card Slot
At least the card slot works as well as the original Xoom. I still can't see what the horrible difficulty is in writing to an SD card... my Droid does it just fine.
